Topic: All property and money taken because of miners?! (Ireland) - page 2. (Read 1853 times)
I once read a story where some dude was hosting equipment for other dudes, and the equipment was stolen, so them other dudes were out, while the dude who was stolen from came out okay, but I guess that's another story.
I would say that 23 miners isn't a different story, it is the story.
My guess, they saw your power consumption, got a warrant thinking you had a grow operation, and took the hard drivesooking for evidence. You can hopefully sort it all out by talking to them.
One other, worse, scenario is that someone you know knows you're mining and they stole the drives in search of your wallets. That makes less sense, as they probably would have taken the whole conputers, not just the drives.

I worked out it was police because only hard drives were taken and not screens/keyboards ect.
Do you mean computers were taken? Or did the cops take the time to open the computers and remove the hard drives?
Suspicious electrical use is grounds for a police raid in many countries.
A very strange thing happened to me recently, one evening I was playing basketball and I came home to my house turned upside down and all my computers, money, bank statements, phones, documents and miners that were in house all gone! I worked out it was police because only hard drives were taken and not screens/keyboards ect. I have a business selling gym equipment but it's all perfectly legal, the grounds for the search was a drug search for hashish but I disn't even have a personal amount of that. What's even more puzzling is that now all my stuff is with the criminal assets bureau (or CAB) who deal with proceeds of crime. The absolute only possible thing I can think is that they think mining is illegal or possibly it wasn't a mining set up but something along the lines of a Silk Road operation (there were 23 knc Jupiter miners in house, not even mine but that's another story). Has anyone any experience with solicitors in ireland who'd have a good understanding of Bitcoin or cryptos and the law in ireland?! This is absolutely killing my business and only source of income...
